If you have luck like Virat Kohli, Pant tried to get him out, but the bowler could not hit the stump even from 1 foot away
After more than two and a half days of rain ruined the Kanpur Test between India and Bangladesh, cricket action was finally seen on the fourth day. After Bangladesh was all out early, captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal set the stage on fire with explosive batting. Amidst all this, there came an opportunity that scared Team India and the fans. The misunderstanding between Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant over a run had caused a big loss to Team India, but the Bangladeshi players could not take advantage of it and Virat Kohli got a lifeline.
On Monday, September 30, the fans' wait ended on the fourth day of the match at Green Park Stadium and Team India did not disappoint them. After Bangladesh's first innings was bowled out for 233 runs, Rohit and Yashasvi started batting aggressively from the first over. Seeing the possibility of this match heading towards a draw, Team India adopted a fast batting style to win and it also benefited them. Rohit and Yashasvi gave a fast start, after which Shubman Gill also opened his hands.
After these three were out, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were at the crease. Both of them decided to bat in the same style but before that, a big mishap was averted. Kohli played the ball of fast bowler Khaled Ahmed lightly and came out of the crease to take a run. On the other hand, Rishabh Pant also ran but seeing Ahmed going towards the ball, Pant refused and Kohli was shocked. Ahmed caught the ball and Kohli stopped there assuming himself to be run out.
Now it seemed that Kohli would be run out because he was far away from the crease but Ahmed missed this easy opportunity. He picked up the ball and threw it underarm but could not hit the stumps. Kohli also immediately returned to the crease and breathed a sigh of relief. But he immediately turned back and expressed his displeasure to Pant with his eyes and hand gestures. Pant also accepted his mistake and immediately went and hugged Kohli and both of them started laughing. Kohli had scored only 2 runs at that time.
Pant, however, got out after this but Kohli stood firm and got another lease of life. This time, he moved forward on a ball from Taijul Ismal and hit a brilliant six on long off, but on the very next ball, he completely missed the chance to play the same shot again. Bangladeshi wicketkeeper Litton Das missed the chance to stump him out. At that time, Kohli had scored only 34 runs. However, Kohli could not stay for long after this and missed the half-century. He was out after scoring 47 runs.
